I'm not keen on wasting several 100s of bonds shuffling equip around, input from a goon with a fully decked out Leo1 would be welcome. So the PTAs soft stats are not very good, I'm grinding through it with (all bounty) stab, rammer + aiming and the aim times are just tolerable even with chocolate. Can I get away with dropping the stab for bond vent/rammer + bounty aiming on the Leo1? The soft stats on tanks.gg look to be about half as much number as the PTA, plus the better aim time.. maybe?

Getting massive lag spikes and packet loss when trying to play this terrible game. Went to my router and ran traceroute and ping tests and everything came back fine.... Glad their servers are still made of just suck magic and dont work.

McGavin posted:I'm done with Ranked. Playing it gave me Hull Down Syndrome. It's astonishing how badly they've managed to gently caress up the game. Because their map design is utterly awful for the most part, flanking the hull down Kranvagns isn't realistic for the most part, and because they hosed up HE shells and arty to the point that neither is really seen anymore, there really is no reasonable counter to them. So you just sit hull down behind opposite hills waiting to see whose teammates gently caress up first and get their Kranvagns flanked, trying to hit pixel shots against the three idiots who still haven't figured out that if you aim the Kranvagn's gun upwards, the turret's weak spots disappear completely.

I'm pissed for not thinking of it sooner - but the counter to wheeled tanks would be to enable the coaxial and commander's swivel guns on the tanks that have them. "Try circle-jerking me with all your loving tires popped, rear end in a top hat." Also, if you fire tracers blindly at a bush and see ricochets...

I don't know, I'm willing to let that go in exchange for 5+ 12.7mm+ MGs and Autocannons lighting those little fuckers up from multiple directions before they unceremionously explode or just stop dead from all their crew having been individually killed. Only enable it from T6 up, though - it'd be stupid at T5 and below. Also, some news from WoWS - they're bringing "SuperShips" into the game. They're ~technically~ T10s, but you need to have three T10s researched in the nation whose supership you want before you're able to research and purchase one. My guess is that's what's going to happen with the Obj 279 non-(e) that's in the database. GONNA BE GREAT PLAYING TIER 13 BATTLES WITH 15 279s ON EACH SIDE!

Their reasoning was that modern tanks aren't in any way compatible with the current game. They are effectively invulnerable to existing high tier tanks and would just cut through them like a scythe through wheat with zero resistance. So a new game mode it is. But I wouldn't bet on the WoT PC teams having that much good sense.

I could honestly see the original M1 Abrams with the 105mm rifled gun in PC WoT. The armor isn't appreciably better than the damned T95/FV4201. I've a feeling someone in their PR department raised their hand and said "hey, what happens when all the best clans have all the mostly-ungettable tanks and the little guys have absolutely no hope of ever competing - won't that kill an entire segment of our game?" I'd be a "Super Leopard." lovely to deal with, but manageable. BIG HEADLINE fucked around with this message at 21:44 on Mar 15, 2022 |

They still couldn't see for poo poo, the advantage of actually being able to move and shoot is negated by all other tanks doing so. If they don't have reactive armor, of course they can still be penetrated all sorts of places, i bet it has "weak spots". This game is so far from reality I don't know why they just don't do more tiers with moderner tanks and then hypothetical tanks. I bet the tier system is hard coded.

   ??? e;   So... There may be a possibility we get John Wick as a commander and a Gundam themed tank. Or even this guy as a commander.  e2;   Same questions for John Wick, 40K and other options i had high opinions of. I can see John Wick using a tank, if 007 can in Golden Eye than so can Wick.

I can't stand Safehaven. I bet my win percent on that map is 20% if those stats were available. The only way that I've had a bit of success is flanking in the field as a medium tank. The port itself is just death for my heavy tanks.

You know it's a good time when you're in a T8 game as a T6 TD (T78) and you top the leaderboard for damage, and it's not even close. And I did 1500 damage. loving hell some of these teams man.

I got a new computer and made the game as pretty as it could be and drat it runs at 240 FPS Game still looks awesome at least. Going from a very old i5 paired with a GTX 1070 to a Ryzen 5 5600G with an RTX 3060

 They've done a LOT to update the game's engine over the years. The big complaint I have is that when tanks blow up it looks super bad when the tank's model gets insta-replaced by the blown up one because the replacement is so obvious. But other than that... poo poo, they've even added a lot of atmospheric effects so when you're looking at things in the far distance it looks realistically dusty and diffused. It's kinda impressive.

Shooting gold is nothing like it used to be back when gold rounds actually *cost gold*. Being in a "first tier" clan back then where you could "brag" about how your ammo was "free" would *really* piss off the pubbies.

I've been stuck on the Type 61 for ages because the overall package is a hindrance to the point of disaster. I like using the tank when platooning though, simply because I can rely on at least two players and put the gun to good use when supporting them; that reload time is
